Description:
Alliance avec la Saxe, France.
Laskey says: 'Napoleon here identifies himself with Charlemagne, and Frederick Augustus is made to assimilate with Wittekind, the celebrated chief of the Saxons, who for thirty years contended against all the power of Charlemagne; and who, after his final submission to that conqueror, still retained large territorial possessions, together with the ducal title.'
